The most llfolesfl and uiilnterestliiH jirraldcnllal cainialBii In a KPimra tlon! TIiIh Is tne way Iho mil IcadiTH of the two great purtioH size ii l the lontRBt between President Wilson and Would-be President Jinnies, which was officially opened when Hie latter marled on his western Miiiniiini; tour. Tb(! situation up to the time of the national conventions at Chicago and St. l.ouls in June, was preKnant with Tm or more varieties of possibili ties for spirited, not to say knock down and drat!-'out, ronteM. Hoosevelt and llryan, the two high explosive shells of American politics, one or both of whom has played a star role In every national nunpulKil since tho late eighteen hundreds, were still alive, politically speaking, uml in tiooil voice. ' I'lissi.lK of Pi'i. iWith tlielr passing and the ronse rpient elimination from the eainpafKii of the Issuo of extremo military pre paredness aKainst extreme pacifism, the prospects for anything even ap proaching a live campalKtt went uliiu inerlnK. Tho cold truth Is that the republi cans are In the most unenviable of political positions. They must make nn offensive fltslit without any real Issue. Tills Is not a partisan state ment, it is not made for any other reasous than to attempt to present to open-minded readers of independent newspapers, a correct Interpretation r the political situation as It exists. In proof of tho fact that tills Is a fair Interpretation, the republican platform and Candidate Hughes' upeerhcH up to this timo are offered as exhibits. I'lililt-iinilitii; mid i Itemedy. Tako the platform and compare It with the democratic platform. Wliat issue Ik raised In It that Is worth while fighting about In n national campaign? It In composed almost entirely of criticism, some general, some specific, of the Wilson adminis tration. In not one paragraph docB it tell (lie country what the republi cans would hnve done had they been In power, or what thoy propose to do in given circumstances, if they get Into power. "President Wilson lias sacrltlced the honor of the nation In his deal ings with European powers and ' Mexico," Is the chief complaint. This Is the key upon which the republican convention evidently in tended to pitch tho campaign nmtlnst President Wilson. Undoubtedly this is Candidate Hughes' Interpretation or the will of his party. Judging by Ills speech of acceptance and his later Hpeeclies. The obvious rounter to this serious charge by party and candidate is: "If yon hod been In power what would you havo dune lo have saved our honor?" What. Would You llnvn Itonr? "Would you liuve declared war against (lermany after the I.usl tanin?" "Would you have declared war against Turkey nfter the slaughter of Armenians and the mistreatment of llilssonaries?" "Would you have declared war on Kngland and France for Interference with our ships ami malls?" "Would you have declared war on Mexico, after tills that or the oilier tragic occurrence in that country and. if so, after which one?" "What recourse, excepting war, has been open to the American people to save the honor, which you say, but we deny, has been sacrificed?" These questions, ill varying forms, have been burled at the republican leaders in congress and at Candidate Hughes ever since the Chicago con vention. The only attempt that has . been made to answer them was made by Hughes In Ills speech of acceptance when lie said that all of the crises that had occurred between this and foreign nations, during the past two years, were due to the fact that Presi dent Wilson had put efficient republi cans out of office; had put Inefficient democrats In office, and these ineffi cient democrats had not been smart enough to prevent crises from occur ing. This Herrick Incident Is cited simply to emphnsle the point tli.it the republic ans are mighty shy of is sues. For centalnly no one will te rlously contend that this in uu lssuo. The Medford Chamber of Com merce has received the following let ter from tho Kngene Chamber of Commerce: The Eugen Chamber of Commerce at Its regular meeting on the llitll lust., unanimously endorsed the re port and recommendations of its liiireau of Taxation and Legislation with reference to the Oregon and California J. and Grant Matter. The Chamber referred the en:ire matter back to Its Bureau ol taxation and Legislation with full power lo carry out the purposes set forth in its re port and recommendations. Following- the regular meeting of the chamber, the bureau, to which tho mutter was referred, held a spec ial meeting for the purpose of con sidering ways and means for carrying out the original purposes and recom mendations submitted In its report. Representatives from a number of the Land Grant Counties were present at this meeting and participated in its deliberations and gnvo their assis tance In formulating the plan of or ganization herein proposed. It was the unanimous sentiment of the mem bers present that the future taxation of Grant Lands is of such vilal im portance to t lio general welfare of the land grant counties, as to war rant the culling eft a conference of the representative interests of these coun ties to the end that a permanent organization might lie formed. A temporary organization was formed and the following temporary officers hosen, viz: Chairman, Judge, Watson of Coos county; vice-president, ,ludgt Gillette of Josephine County; anil secretary, Wendell C. Harbour of Lane County. The plan of organization agreed upon, provides for three representa tives from each of Hie land grant counties, to be appointed by the coun ty courts of the several counties, and one representative to tie appointed hy each of tho hoard of commissioners of the several port districts, In which are located uny of I ho grant lands. It was further agreed that owing to the Importance of the matter under consideration, 'that a conference of the representatives of the several ountles and port districts bo held at the Chamber of Commtrce in hugem', on Monday evening, the ssth of Au gust, 1910, at the hour of 7 : :t tl o'clock p. m. The iiurpo.se of Hie conference called Is lo take up, discuss and de termine whether the Oregon and California grant lands shall be placed I on the assessment rolls of the several ountles for taxation purposes as in Hie past, and to perfect a permanent organization of the several counties for their mutual welfare. In accordance with the foregoing, your County Court Is hereby aullior ized lo appoint three representatives to represent your county In the con ference called and Iho Hoard of Port Commissioners, one Representative In counties where situated. Tho Eugene chamber of commerce, through Its bureau of taxation anil legislation, respectfully urges Hie im portance of this conference, mid It Is suggested that (lie mutter be taken up with your county court to the end Hint they have your co-operation. It Is the hope and desire that each ounty will be represented by a full delegation. I0. niCAN. i'Ri:i ti. Nichols. W. C.

AI THEPAGE7HEATRE In "The lleggar of Cawnpore," If. 11. Warner shows that he has not tie come nn actor In a rut, playing the same types time after time. During the greater portion of the picture lie assumes the character of a decrepit old beggar and his drawing of Die part is highly artistic. His make-up Is so good that it is hard to reali.e tills forlorn creature Is the same dap per young man with whom everybody is so familiar, and his acting takes on an entiiely different, style. He conveys the complete degrednllon of tho once capable physician 111 such a manner Hint it can lie judged a re markable performance. The story of the picture makes a good vehicle for Hie heretofore un- shown versatility of Mr. Warner and it Is Interesting.
